danthemjfan23 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 pretty interesting/fun to go through. there's media players at the bottom of each page so you can hear the song they're talking about. http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/the-50-greatest-guitar-tones-of-all-time-ever-136709#content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markovianprocess Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 One of the things I hate about lists like this is, why not make it 10 a page or 50 all on the same page? I'd rather not click through 50 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrudeboy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 That list is all kinds of fail. Smells Like Teen Spirit higher than Satisfaction??? Money for Nothing over Sulatans of Swing. And where the fuck is Layla!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxamaphone Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Lemme save everyone the trouble of reading this: You've read one list like this, you've read them all. The selections are dull and blatantly [classic] rockist. It's the same 50 bland, over-feted, shitty guitar riffs worshiped by 14 year old boys who just learned barre chords and just-past-middle-age boomers who used to be 14 year old boys who will tell you, in great detail, why Clapton is god, man.

danthemjfan23 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 this list ISN'T about the riffs, though... it's about the tones. it just so happens that the tones they're talking about are parts of legendary songs. but when you look at it from that different perspective, it's a pretty cool little list.

Dimebag Darrell's tone definitely needed to be in there. he had a sound that was distinctive how he wasn't added just blows my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentgods Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Glad Satriani is on that list. dude is amazing live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Wow, I couldn't agree more with a lot of this. I'm super happy to see Eddie Van Halen at #3. His guitar sound on "Mean Streets" and pretty much all of Women and Children First and Fair Warning is without comparison. Looks like they actually put in the time to make this story fair. You can't expect them to get bands like Jawbox in there, but that would have been nice. J's sound on For Your Own... and the outtakes from that record is just awesome.

Guest Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Putting The Edge over Tommy Iommi for anything is super lame. Also, I think Ace Frehley should be on this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adammuzzy Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 the 6th greatest is slash playing a les paul through a marshall. real cutting edge and original... and the 1st is seriously comfortably numb? every guitar moment on animals smokes anything in that song...
